Dear C&E colleagues, I regret to advise all that the ROSEN Dinner for 2019 is cancelled. Due to a confluence of events – some out of my control – the attendance for this year’s dinner is very low and as a result it is not self supporting. I do realize that the dinner’s goal is to bring our community together for camaraderie and celebration and I hope that next year with earlier planning the dinner will once again generate greater interest and be back in its normal time slot – the first Friday in June. I will also look at ways to reduce the cost of the dinner perhaps allowing more participation. Finally, I hope in the coming weeks/month to solicit your advice on the ROSEN dinner again with the aim of generating more interest and participation in the future. For those who have already registered for ROSEN 2019 we will make arrangements to reimburse your registration and advise you shortly of those arrangements. We will also look at an opportunity in the fall for another occasion to gather our C&E family. We hope to have an event in Kingston to recognize and celebrate our military communication’s contribution to the […]

It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the death of LCol Jacques Hamel, OMM, CD, eng. Surrounded by family, he passed away from surgical complications at 02h30 this morning. No words can describe the impact Jacques had as the cornerstone of the C4ISR community for more than a decade. Always putting soldiers first, his inspirational vision, leadership and passion have undoubtedly left their mark on the institution. His legacy will live on through the lives he’s touched and the organizational transformation he forged. I extend my most profound and heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues in this difficult time. Details of his memorial service will be shared once available. F.J.
